Description
The Alpine orogeny and the up-doming of the Black Forest region will lead to gradual uplift of the Zürcher Weinland. As a result of the up-doming of the Black Forest, erosion of the overburden will occur; the possibility also exists of a southward shift of the river Rhine, with consequent changes of the groundwater flowpath and hydraulic gradients.
